KENAI PENINSULA STEELHEAD FISHING

Posted on October 23, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Kenai peninsula steelhead fishing trips are offered for both the fly angler and the light spin tackle angler. Drift boat trips and walk and wade trips are our preferred ways to pursue these hard fighting fish. Warm clothing, hand warmers and perseverance have paid off recently on the Kenai Peninsula Steelhead fishing streams. Beads or leeches fished dead drift or down and across streamer style with a Teeny 200 if the streams are too high. In other words – typical finicky Steelhead fishing but the catching has been good. The steelhead run seems to be steady and the only thing that gets in the way is ice in our guides though the last few days haven’t been that cold though. The middle river section of the Kenai continues to be great for nice, fat rainbows trout. The dolly Varden are mostly gone now, off to do the spawning thing up the tributaries. So it is just you, the silver salmon, and the rainbows trout as far as fishing on the kenai river in concerned. Booking a kenai peninsula steelhead fishing trip with us is easy. Give us a call and we will work with you to design a trip that is perfect for you. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly. LLC

Willow Creek Fly Fishing

Posted on September 19, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Willow creek fly fishing opportunities are action packed and exciting. September Rainbow trout fishing is great almost everywhere in Alaska now. Most of the Salmon are at the end of their life cycle and the trout are really keying in on this food source right now. I fished Willow Creek with the folks from Murray’s fly shop on Tuesday and we had a spectacular time. The fishing on the many streams off the Parks highway are easily accessible and full of fish. The rainbow Trout seemed to concentrate at the confluence of the Susitna and Willow Creek in good numbers today. We caught three species of fish in about 30 minutes. Grayling, Dolly Varden, and Rainbow trout were our main focus letting the salmon spawn with no harassment of big streamers in there spawning beds. Once a salmon sets up on its spawning bed or also known as a red they will protect this area by taking anything that passes through this area. Willow creek fly fishing is a lot of fun, mostly wade fishing opportunities and A great place to check out. Hope to see you on the river!

We can get you lined up on a Willow creek fly fishing trip upon request and will be happy to show you the river. Just another Alaska fishing opportunity.

ALASKA SHEEFISH FISHING

Posted on September 7, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Alaska sheefish fishing is something that I have been wanting to do since I moved here in 2002. This past week I took a short trip but long drive to a little river above the Yukon river. This is the only road side fishery that I have found that sustains a fishable number of Sheefish! We fished for only a day but found that this smaller stream has a lot to offer. We found pike, grayling, dolly varden, and smaller sheefish. Sheefish can grow bigger than 50 lbs. but the biggest one we found was about 8 lbs. The little river that I am talking about is the Ray river about 30 mile or so north of Fort Yukon. Good fishing and I hope that you to can check this river out! We can hook you up with a sheefish fishing trip in alaska upon request. Give us a call or an email to find out more information on fishing in alaska.
